Our Little Drama Queen

If you haven't watched the national weather the last few days - it's been nasty here in southern Georgia. Since Sunday afternoon it's been pouring and it's only been in the 60's, which is borderline winter weather for us. We've been in the 70's and 80's since the beginning of March and the 90's recently. The last three days though- wet, windy, overcast and just yucky!

We had to run some errands today so I made Ashlyn put on pants and her "winter coat" (Old Navy zip-up sweatshirt). As she put on the pants she started whinning that something was wrong with the leg of her shorts and they were hurting her because they were too long! After explaining they were pants and that they were meant to be long to keep her warm when it's cold she settled down...until I made her put on the "winter coat".She started freaking out that it was hurting her arms, that it was choking her neck, she couldn't breath...
...and then it was an all out temper tantrum on the kitchen floor trying to get the coat and pants off. Holy cow! Ten mintues later, still freaking out, I had to throw her in the car kicking and screaming to go to the store. What would this kid do if we lived where there were real winters that required a real winter clothing? Boy are we spoiled here!
